Тема: Re: [vpp-dev] MLX5 NIC interface is not visible


Your options are:

1. Use the rdma plugin and create rdma interfaces.
2. Use the DPDK plugin. The DPDK build that is generated when you build VPP 
will not include the mellanox PMDs by default. You need to explicitly enable 
them when you build. There are build variables named DPDK_MLX5_PMD and 
DPDK_MLX5_COMMON_PMD which have default values set to 'n'. Those need to be set 
to 'y' to build the mlx5 PMD. You can set these by running something like 'make 
DPDK_MLX5_PMD=y DPDK_MLX5_COMMON_PMD=y pkg-deb', or you could edit 
build/external/packages/dpdk.mk<http://dpdk.mk> and change the defaults there.

Hi,



I’m trying to use ConnectX-5 NIC interfaces in VPP (20.09) application running 
on a x86 host (Ubuntu 18.04), but unable to find this interface in VPP.

Do we need to create rdma interface to use mlx5 NIC interfaces? Or is there any 
other way to use this?



Below are configuration/NIC and other relevant details:

vpp# sh interface

              Name               Idx    State  MTU (L3/IP4/IP6/MPLS)     
Counter          Count

local0                            0     down          0/0/0/0



VPP startup configuration:

dpdk {

       dev 0000:d9:00.0 {

                name eth0

        }

}



plugins {

        plugin default { enable }

        plugin dpdk_plugin.so {enable }

}



NIC driver status:
